The story-line of this movie is absolutely horrible...seemingly written for the immoral, lust-filled soul or proud adulterer. The degradation of morals in America have come to a point of plain dirt, but of course that's what we're made from. It amazes me that Hollywood champions the "goodness" of man yet pumps out stories that literally scream out depravity. Oh how we need redemption Lord Jesus. A pig with lipstick on...that should be the American film logo. Darcy is made out to be this terrible friend, therefore it becomes okay to wrong her. Rachel is supposed to be the sweet, lovable type who constantly gets run over, therefore it makes it okay for her to sin. Yes SIN, that is the best word to describe the backwards "progression" of this debacle of a love story. This is a lust story. Love is not based on feelings & emotions but choices & actions. And Dex, is this guy really supposed to be some kind of knight in shining armor? He is a glutton...TOTALLY selfish. Something Borrowed is shameful as Hollywood & America once again mock the honor of marriage & fidelity. This is a movie of deception, the deception that if you just go for what you want (and feel is deserved), even if it deeply hurts someone else, YOU will be happy in the end. There are dire consequences to sin and the disregard of the feelings or emotions of others. This is a sinful farce of a fairy-tale. Smh

I didn't hate this movie. It had good moments but honestly I didn't know it was a comedy until I looked the movie up maybe 90% of the way through it. Then it became obvious...FORCED COMEDY. I think I laughed out loud once, when Channing Tatum's character told Vince Vaughn's character "drive safe". THAT was hilarious. Overall this movie was a full meal...full of corn, cheese and sap. I really believe that if they went the route of a true drama it could've been a good movie with some funny moments instead of forced comedy & corny, cheesy, sappy drama. Most of the moments with Channing Tatum's character were utterly ridiculous. I can't count how many times I cringed & said to myself "this is stupid" during the fight scene. But I'm writing this review for a reason. In a small way, I enjoyed it. Heck I watched it all the way through. The final scene was good, though definitely corny, cheesy AND sappy. I liked Jennifer Connelly. Was she the stubborn chick in Bad Boys? Anyway, I liked it...a little bit, and I can't really explain why.
